Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu might have come to power by hook or crook, but his regime has always proved to be a curse for the people of the State.
A Congress leader pointed out that during his previous rule of Naidu for nine years, the then undivided Andhra Pradesh witnessed natural calamities and major accidents.
At least 1058 people were killed in a severe cyclone that hit AP coast in 1996. There was a severe drought and famine-like conditions that forced more than 3,000 farmers to commit suicide. Major roads accidents, train accidents and other tragedies were common during Naidu's rule.
This time too, the Congress leader said, Naidu's return to power proved unlucky for several people.
While Chandrababu Naidu was taking oath on June 8, at least 25 people from the State, mostly students, were killed in Beas River tragedy in Himachal Pradesh.
On June 27, as many as 15 people were killed due to GAIL pipeline blast in Nagaram village of East Godavari district.
About 15 school children were injured when a lorry hit a school bus in Tirupati on September 24. Similarly, on October 12, AP coast was hit by 'Hudhud', one of the most severe cyclone in the history, which claimed 61 lives and caused damage to properties worth Rs 21,908 crore.
The recent incident occurred on Wednesday when 16 people, including 13 students, were killed when a bus fell into a gorge near Madakasira in Anantapur district.
“Some changes can be made in a house if there are defects in its Vaastu. But in case of a State, the only option is to change the Chief Minister,” he said and advised the TDP MLAs to replace Chandrababu Naidu as the Chief Minister.
"Since NTR was the founder of TDP, his son and MLA Balakrishna can be made the Chief Minister to replace Naidu," he said.
